Chapter 1799: Decline to Be Class Leader
They didn’t ask her difficult questions, so Gu Ning answered their questions. Her kind attitude left a better impression on everyone.
Before long, their head teacher came and they went back to their own seats.
The head teacher of Class A was He Qihang. He was a man about 40 who wore glasses and looked serious and strict.
It was his first meeting with Gu Ning, but he had learned a lot about her beforehand. He had also seen her photos, so he recognized her the second he saw her.
He Qihang was quite happy to see Gu Ning in Class A.
No matter how outstanding Gu Ning was, she was his student now and he felt proud of her.
He Qihang didn’t accord any special treatment to Gu Ning. He didn’t especially greet her just because of her great achievements and his like towards her. Instead, he treated all his students equally.
From He Qihang’s appearance, everyone believed that he would be as serious as the dean, but they were wrong. To their surprise, He Qihang was quite humorous and no one felt bored.
Although He Qihang didn’t specially greet Gu Ning, he still complimented her.
In a while, students went to the stage to introduce themselves one by one. They needed to know each other, then they began to select their class leader.
They needed a temporary class leader for the time being, and they would officially select class representatives after military training.
“Alright, we need a class leader and an assistant class leader. Who do you think are qualified for those two positions?” asked He Qihang.
The moment He Qihang finished, many students said Gu Ning’s name.
“I think Gu Ning can be the class leader.”
“Right, Gu Ning is the best choice.”
“Gu Ning isn’t bad.”
“Gu Ning…”
Most students said Gu Ning’s name. Even though some students said different names, Gu Ning’s name was much louder than others.
They just met each other and only a few of them were familiar with one another. Although the head teacher had just called their names, they couldn’t remember many.
Gu Ning, however, was well-known to everyone in the class. In addition, she had outstanding abilities, so most students believed she was the best person for their class leader.
However, not everyone wanted Gu Ning to be the class leader, because some wanted to be the class leader himself or herself.
Being the class representative was a great chance to practice one’s abilities, so some people needed this chance to prove themselves.
Unfortunately, almost everyone was calling Gu Ning’s name, so those who had the ambition to become the class leader didn’t dare to recommend themselves.
“Alright, be quiet,” said He Qihang and the classroom fell into silence. He Qihang then turned to ask Gu Ning, “Gu Ning, everyone wants you to be the class leader. What do you think?”
Even though Gu Ning was believed to be the best choice, he still needed to ask for her opinions. He was unwilling to force her to be the class leader.
He Qihang knew it was very easy for Gu Ning to do the job well as the class leader, but he had learned that Gu Ning had set a condition that she must have the right of not living in the school and being absent from classes before she agreed to study in the Capital University. The Capital University accepted it, so He Qihang wouldn’t oppose it.
In that case, Gu Ning wouldn’t have much time on campus, so she might not be suitable for that position.
“Thank you all for your approval, but I’m afraid I can’t be the class leader. As you know, I have many companies to manage, so I won’t have much time to manage our class. I’m sorry.” Gu Ning declined. She really didn’t have much energy to be the class leader, because she would be absent from many classes in the future.
Knowing that, most students felt disappointed, but they could understand it. Gu Ning had so many companies under her name after all, so she must be very busy.
The students who had the intention of competing for the position of class leader felt relieved when Gu Ning declined.
Although they only needed a temporary class leader right now, the student might keep the position if he or she did the job well.
“Well, since Gu Ning declined, we can choose another student,” said He Qihang.
“Sir, we just met each other and we don’t know much about one another. Why don’t you ask if anyone wants that position,” a student said.
“Sure, so does any one of you want to be the class leader?” asked He Qihang right away.
Most people became silent in an instant. The majority of them had no interest in becoming a class representative, while those who were interested in it felt slightly embarrassed to recommend themselves.
“No one?” He Qihang was a little disappointed at his inactive students.
In fact, teachers preferred active students as long as they weren’t too proud of themselves. One’s attitude mattered most.
“Sir, I used to be the class leader during my high school, so I think I can try it.” At this time, a male student stood up.
“Great, you can be the temporary class leader.” He Qihang agreed without delay. Since the male student had served as the class leader during his high school, he must be experienced and able.
“Can you introduce yourself again? I’m afraid not everyone remembers you,” said He Qihang. Although he had introduced himself once just now, not everyone could remember him.
It would be easier for other students to remember him after he introduced himself again.
“Of course, my name’s Lu Kaixuan. I’m from City C. I’m very glad to be the class leader of our class for the time being. I’ll do my best to finish my job. If I make any mistakes, please feel free to tell me. I won’t hesitate to correct them,” said Lu Kaixuan. He recommended himself, but he didn’t look arrogant. Instead, he was quite modest.
After his separate introduction, all the other students in the class remembered him.
Afterwards, they needed to select an assistant class leader.
It was a girl in the end, and she recommended herself too. She used to be the commissary in charge of studies during her high school.
It was better for students with the experience of being class representatives to lead the class, because they wouldn’t be at a loss when they encountered trouble.
After selecting the class leader and assistant class leader, He Qihang reminded the students to be careful of some things, then the meeting was over. It lasted for nearly an hour, so it was time for lunch when it was over.
Actually, many students wanted to form a relationship with Gu Ning, but hesitated to invite her to share a meal. After all, Gu Ning still gave them a feeling that she was far out of their league.
